Italy's far-right prime minister is suing the lead singer of Placebo for calling her a "fascist."
At a concert last month, Brian Molko also described Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni as a "racist."
Meloni was a youth activist in a group founded by a member of dictator Benito Mussolini's government.
Now, according to press reports, Meloni herself is suing Molko for defamation, the latest in a string of lawsuits against critics.
But as a youth activist, Meloni herself praised the country's former fascist dictator saying that, "everything he did, he did for Italy."
